I agree, I agree.
Only a relatively useful comparison for someone who needs to buy a camera on the 23 September and wonders what the top up price for going full-frame is... OK, still unfair.
I'm glad to hear that the K-5 will never be in the shops for that price.
N.B., bearing all unfairness it mind, it shows that the prices between a top-level Pentax APS-C and a full frame SONY (which is almost their previous flagship minus a bit of FPS and minus a bit of viewfinder coverage) do not differ like day and night anymore.
The problem with the SONY, as I see it are the follow-on costs. Their upper-level lenses are great but expensive and their proprietary (Minolta) hot-shoe makes access to standard flash equipment a bit harder than necessary.
